Summary:
The primary goal of unemployment insurance is therefore to provide compensation for any insured who involuntarily finds himself unemployed, as this risk is unfortunately all too frequent, and not to assist those who by personal choice decide to perfect their training.
One who voluntarily quits her job to follow a training course which is not authorized by the CEIC has an excellent personal reason for doing so. But, we feel it is contrary to the very principles underlying the UI system that she be able to impose the economic burden of her decision on taxpayers.

Summary:
The meaning to be given to the words "without just cause" being a question of law, we feel it irreconcilable with the very purpose of the Act to conclude that the claimant was justified in acting as she did (voluntarily leaving to attend a course). Reference to TANGUAYin re error of law.

Summary:
It should be noted that a person leaving employment to follow a training course authorized by the CEIC under s. 26 of the Act, constitutes a statutory exception under which a claimant is deemed to be unemployed, capable of and available for work during any period in which he is attending his course.
